Logo

The logo in the infobox is the old one. It is repeated below in the History section as 'logo until 2021'. Shouldn't the new logo be in the Infobox then? -- Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done The infobox was vandalized on 9 July 2023. --Dexxor (talk) 08:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Downloading for home use

Can the software be downloaded for personal use at home, with no one else accessing it? If so, what would be the requirements to get it functioning properly? Would I need to download other software, or have a huge hard drive? I usually use a 1 TB SSD laptop with 32 GB RAM. I've got about 600 MB free. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 12:58, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
